boards he organized. Tho Kellogg mem
bers took the proposition under consider
ation. COLFAX.
Sr. Loci, Feb. A Washington spe
cial to tho l)ipitch says tho testimony of
Vicu Trcildunt Colfax Inst night beforo
the Credit Mobillcr committee, Is regarded
among Republicans, except tbote who uro
personal friends of inof, as a complete
vindication of tho chargo of his having
received Jl,209 from Ames. Many per
sons beiiovo that Ames drow the money
on u check, pretending that Colfax never
did so.
CALDWELL.
The investigating committee In tho
Caldwell caso,will roport to-morrow, if
there are two reports, which Is probablo,
it is doubtfull If Caldwell is expelled, bo
cause the senate has already, and very re
cently, shown that It is very loth to oust
its own members. It Is certain that tho
majority, will report in favor of Cald
well's peremptory expulsion, while the
minority, if not in favor of an out an out
acquittal, will favor a mild reprimand, and
end tho matter there. If there is only one
report It will probably be adopted with
out hesitation, no matter in whoso favor it
may be; but if there should be two, Cald
well will be safe, msjority or no majority,
as it takes a two-thirds rule to expel.
CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATK.

words "tho two houses" for tho term
Joint convention, and at tho suggestion of
Senator Sherman, ho amended his amend
ment so as to make it read, " functions of

Senator Bayard raised a point ot order

The senato sustained the point of order

WAsiitNoroN, Feb. 12 This being tho
day when the ceremony of counting tho

the houto galleries, in spito of tho rain
which has been falling all morning, are
crowded.
On motion of Mr. Hanks tho senr.lo
amendments to tho bill making a provis
ion for tho Viunnu exposition weru con
curred in.
On motion of Mr. Dawes n message was
lent to the fenate that tho hoaso was pre
pare! to rccoivo that body and proceed
with the counting ol thu electoral votes for

Mr. Maynard from thu commlttco on
ways and means reported a bill amonding
the 30th section of tho internal revenue
law of tho 14th of July, 1870, so as to pro
vida that on all importations of sugar,
molasses, pig iron and railroad Iron that
tho amount reqnired shall only be tho
penal sum of doublo tbo amount of duties
on such articles, and that on all importa
tions in bond, it stall bo a penal sum
equal to tho invoice valuo of Imported
merchandize, with tho duties added there
to, l'aued.
At 1 o'clock p.m. the door-keeper an
nounced tho arrival of tho senators. Tho
speaker and members of tho house im
mediately stood up, and remained stand
ing wbilo the members of tho senate pro
ceeded by their secretary and sorgeant-at-arms,
filed down tho main nlsle, two by
two, and took seats assigned them in the
southeastern section of the ball. Colfax,
vico president, took tho chair of the
speaker, who occupied a teat to tho left of
the vice president.
Senator Sherman and T.cprcientativcs
Diwcs and Heck, who had been appointed
tellers, took their places at tho clerk's
desk.
Tho vice-president culled tho Joint con
vention to order, stating that tbo senato
and houio of representatives having met
under provisions of tho constitution for tho
purposo of opening, determining
and declaring tho vote for
tho offices of president and vico president
of the United Statoi, for thu term of four
years, commencing on tbo 4th of March
noxt, and that it being his duty in tho
prcsonco of both homes then convened, to
open the votes, ho would
proceed to dlichargo that duty.
Ho then broko open a sual'ed pnekago con
taining tho certlQcato of the governor
of tho state of Maine, as to tho persons
cho.cn electors in that state, together with
a certificate of the electors, and handed
tbo samo to tho tellers.
Senator Sherman thorcupon read tho
cortlCcato of tbo electors, showing tho
voto of tho state wis given for Ulysses
Grant for president, and Henry Wilson
for vice president.
Tho lame formality was gono through
with in the caso of New Hampihlro, and
then it was ordered that instead of rend
ing the certificates in full, tho teller should
simply announco tho rosult of tbo voto in
each state, unless tbo reading of the certi
ficate should bo specially culled for, and
tho courso was observed throughout tho,
proceedings. Tho first voriation In
tho uniformity of tho count, was in that of
tho state of Maryland, When thnt fctato
was reached Mr. Heck read the ccrtiflcato
from thut state, shoeing its 8 votes had
been cast for Thos. A. Hendricks of Indi
ana, for president, and II. Gratz Drown of
Missouri, for vice prosidont. The noxt de
viation was in Georgia, and Mr. Heck hav
ing axamined tho certificates, announced
thnt 11 votes in tbutstalo had been given
as follows: Drown of Missouri, 0 ; Horaco
Greeley, 3; Cum. J. Jonklns of Ga, 2.
Tho votes fur vico president wero us fol
lows: D. Gratr. Ilrown of Mo., C; Alfred
II. Calqultt of Ga., S; X. 1'. Hunks of
Mass., 1. '
The one voto for vico president, which
Gen. Hanks rccelvsd from tho State of
Georgia, caused some Inugbter ut thu ex
ponse of that gentleman.
Tho votes cast for Greoloy could not bo
counted, becuuso tho said Greoloy wan
doad at the tlmo tho electors assembled,
and cast their votes, and therefore was not
a point within tho meaning of tho consti
tution. This bolng an historical fact of
which both houses might tako notice, tho
vico president read tho rulo which re
quires, in tho caso of any question arising
on the vote, that tho two houses shall sepa
rate and vote upon tho point
. At the suggestion of Senator' Conkllng,
Mr. Hoar's objection was withhold tem
porarily, as it was likely that other ques
tion! would arise, and might all bo dis
posed of at tbo tame tlmo,
The ccrtiflcato from tho stato of Missis
sippi having been road, Senator Trum
bull objected to its being counted on tho
ground that the certificate of the electors
failed to state that thoy bad voted by bal
lot. Mr, l'otter further objected to ono of
the votes of Mississippi, on the ground
that one of tho electors having been sub
stituted for another who wai absent, such
substitution was not certified to by the
governor, and fi!no becauso the secretary
of stato cortlflcd to nothing of his own
knowledge, but only from information.
Various objections having been reduced
to writing, tho senato vrithdrow In order
to pass upon them. Tho house thereupon
was called to order by tho speaker.
Mr. Hoar then offered a resolution that
the voles reported by the tellers as hav
ing been cast by tho electors of the itato
of Georgia, for Horaco Greoloy as presi
dent of tho United States, ought not,ln tho
judgment of tho house, bo counted, said
Greeley having died beforo such votes
wore cast.
Mr. Hank mado a point of order that
tho houso' had no power to decide on the
question of eligibility.
Tho speaker remarked that that was a
question for tho house to dctermlno un
der tho resolution, but not a point of
order.
A voto was taken without debato for tbo
yacs and nayes, nmld much excitementi
particularly as It bceomo evident tbat tho
voto was a closoone, and hs the difficulty,
presented Itself having tho sosato and
house tako opposito sides of tho question
The vote resulted, iiowevcr, In tho adop
tion of tho resolution, by vacs 102, nave
78.
Many Kcpublicans voted against the
resolution and many Democrats for it,
Mr. Kerr then oilcred u resolution tbat
votes cast for Horace Greeley should be
counted as blank votes.
Tho speaker declined to entertain tho
resolution on tho ground that tho houio
had already disposed of the question, and
was now engaged on other questions
rulsed in tho joint convention of both
houses, no stated that tho question now
before tho houio was on tho objection raited
by Senator Trumbull to counting the
votes of tho stato of Mississippi.
Mr. Dawes ofiored a resolution that In
tho judgment of tho house, tho eight votes
reported by tho tellers as cast by tho elec
tors of the stato of Mississippi ought to bo
counted.
The question then aroso on tho objection
mado by Mr. l'otter, tbat ono of tho votes
of Mississippi should not bo counted, be
cause that voto had not been cast by Mor
gan, tho regular elector, but by Spellman,
who was appointed as a substitute, such
appointment not having been duly certi
fied by the governor.
Mr. Potter offered a resolution in ac
cordance with his objection.
Mr. Kubanks offered, substitute for tt,
' declaring that tho electors of the state of
Mississippi, having been appointed in tho
manner directed by tho legislature of that
state, and in accordanco with tho pruvis
ioni of tho United States, wero tho legal
clctors of that state, and that tho vote, as
cast by them, should boj'countod. Tho
substituto was agreed to, and then a met
sage was sent to tho sonato tbat tbo houso
nail acted on trie questions submitted by
the joint convention of the two houses.
Tho house then took a recess for a
quarter of nn hour.

CUUA ISIWOltti THE HOUSE
COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN
AlTAlliS.
(From tho New York Herald,)
Gonvml Batiks, thu chairman of tbo
houso of cutumiltco on foreign u Hairs ot
congress, bus been nil along the triend of
tno patriot uuuans, anu lias mailu several
I'tl'orts to iiiduco thn government, either
through tho action of congress or by the
direel action of tho president, to havo
thorn recognized as belligerents. Ac
cording to our Wellington dispatches he
has renewed his efforts. He otlered a re
solution in the houso of representatives
recommending the president to open
communication with foreign governments
with a view of devising the most efficient
means for tho protection of non-combatants,
to euforco emancipation and the
rules of civilized warfare In Cuba, and
finally to establish peace in the distracted
island. The resolution was referred to
tho committee on foreign affairs, and, it Is
said, will come up again shortly. Mod
erately worded as it is, tbo object i to
concede belligorcnt rigbta to the Cubans,
which they aro entitled to by fouryeari of
heroic warfare. It is said that tho repre
sentations of Col, Macias, tbo agent of tho
Cuban republic, who has just returned
from Europo. havo had some influence in
this new movement. As Gen. Banks and
congreu wore deterred some
time ngo from taking action in
this matter by the administration,
and as congress, bolng indisposed to do
anything adverse to tho will of tbo Presi
dent, who represents the dominant party,
there is reaion to neinvo tnis movement is
In accordance with the vhws of the ad
ministration. If io, and we hope it is, the
Cuban dimcuity is aeai solution. The
lone itruscle. seemingly impossible for
Spain to terminate it, only needed the
recognition of the Oubam as belligerents
by the American government to secure the
independence of Cuba. The Information
afforded by our correspondence, and the
supply of material of war and other
Beeemrlei lately to lth Cubans by
blockade runnors, with other facts
favorable to the Cuban
causo, may have bad tbo proper effect
upon tbe administration and congress.
If England should be disposed to unlto
wltb our government to thus terminate
the horrible civil war in Cuba, and to ex
tinguish slavsry there, as Is stated, all tho
better; but If not, tbe United States
government should no longer be a naislvo
spectator of tbe atrocities on it border.
.Let us hope congress will take some ac
tion before tbe present short icislon ends
io encourage ana g-Udo the president, In a
more determined, humane and American
policy with regard to Cuba.
BREVITIES.
A New York correspondent of tbe St.
Louis 'Times' has heard Miss Emily
Faithful, tho English lecturer deliver her
lccturo"Tho distinguished people I have
known" anddiicribcs the speaker: "Miss
Faithful is a tall, large woman, of un
certain age, with florid complexion and
prominent features. Her hair is bobbed
short in her neck and confined by a black
velvet ribbon, worn over tho top of her
head. Her dress upon this occasion was
of light green serge, made in very English
style, a plain linen collar turned down
ovor a decidedly masculine looking black
silk cravat. No Jowelry, no gloves, or fan,
nothing betokening a feminine love of
pretty adornments."
The St. Louis 'Olobo' must bo a Chris
tian newspaper. It shows an unmistakable
loaning to tbe boliof tbat Pomoroy is an
innccent man and York a bold conspira
tor. The 'G'obo' says Pomeroy's denial In
the senate 'leaves nothing to be wished
for except that il had been made earlier,"
and Is not certain but that it may mean
serious business to Col. York.
